If Guy Lombardo’s rendition of “Auld Lang Syne” — the night’s traditional chestnut — is too stodgy, some more upbeat suggestions popped up. Those include Death Cab for Cutie’s “The New Year,” Toto’s “Africa” and Tina Turner’s “The Best.”

If livening up your goodbye to 2017 isn’t exactly what you had in mind, fear not. Twitter has you covered, too. Several fans of the avant-garde suggest cueing up the Zen-inspired John Cage masterpiece “4’33.”

If you play John Cage’s 4’33” at exactly 11:57:12pm on New Year’s Eve, the part where you have an introspective breakdown about the arbitrary nature of the very concept of “years” will happen exactly at midnight. Kick off 2018 the right way. Or don’t, whatever, nothing changes.
